MOREH, Aug. 5, 2026: Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) of Tengnoupal District have warned of democratic agitation if five doctors transferred to health institutions in the district fail to report for duty within a week.
In a press statement issued on Wednesday, the CSOs said the move was necessary to ensure the proper functioning of the Primary Health Centre (PHC) at Tengnoupal, PHC Moreh and the Sub-Divisional Hospital (SDH) Moreh. The organisations expressed concern over the delay in joining by doctors transferred under the Governor of Manipur's transfer order dated July 22, 2026.
According to the statement, although the transfer order was issued 14 days ago, only Dr. Tongjakai Haokip has joined his assigned post. The remaining doctors—Dr. Naulak Nengliankim, Dr. Jamkhopum Baite, Dr. Kamlalmaun Singson, Dr. Farooque Shaikh and Dr. Md. Shaikh Yousuf Ali—are yet to assume their duties.
The CSOs stated that if the doctors do not report to their respective places of posting within one week, effective from August 6, they will launch various forms of democratic agitation against the government and the concerned doctors. They further said the government would be held accountable for any untoward incidents arising from the situation.
The organisations also highlighted the ongoing outbreak of dengue, typhoid and malaria in Moreh, saying the town urgently requires adequate numbers of doctors and nurses to meet the growing healthcare needs of the public.
The press statement was jointly signed by representatives of the Kuki Chiefs Association, Kuki Women Union-Human Rights, Molnoi Area Welfare Council, Hill Tribal Council Moreh, and the Kuki Students' Organisation, Tengnoupal District.
